This is Awesome news! I already started watching it! But I will switch to CR Since they clearly plan to catch up to the other feeds. Now I'm half way through the manga!

This season has been a pleasant surprise. I'm already hooked on about a dozen new show and less than a handful have lost my interest. The only ones that haven't aired yet are on my must watch list too.

I look forward to comparing the Funimation Elite 720 stream to Crunchyroll as I find I usually don't like how Funimation looks but have no basis for comparison. Red Data Girl looks fairly bland while P.A.Works shows are usually quite bright and colorful.

Thanks for the earlier info.

Do tell how the difference goes. I had to lose Funimations streaming because it was poor quality and streaming. I do not have problems with Crunchyroll.

Too bad about Red Data Girl...the artwork has looked beautiful especially since it is PA Works.

Neither Crunchyroll nor Funimation have released a specific time for when they will be broadcasting AoT. Any speculation as to why they haven't?

For Crunchyroll, they could be finalizing the production pipeline. For Funimation its not all that surprising, Funimation has a habit of being slow to give full details. I can see why they wanted to get it streaming as soon as possible, if the streaming rights are going to be shared with Crunchyroll, to get the news that it would be on their site out there first. That might have pushed them to get an announcement up that didn't have much information other than the boilerplate sent to them by Japan, so it could get cleared in Tokyo more quickly.

Yeah, a tough season for Latin America. Crunchyroll really needs to talk with Showgate about adding Latin American streaming to the streaming rights they offer ~ that was four series lost to Latin America right there.

Koutoruwrote: It's possible the MBS wanted Funimation for the home media rights and both Funimation and CR for the simulcast rights. In any case, I wonder if they're going to catch up with the Japanese broadcast or stream it a week late?

Crunchyroll lists Kodansha as the publisher. I don't think they've every been listed as the publisher of a series to Crunchyroll before, but they were on the Fairy Tail and the No. 6 production committees, so they would have had a chance to see what streaming numbers on Crunchyroll look like, if they were interested.
